I posted this in the Tech forum, but wondering if anyone over here might have the answer.

I'm doing a bar swap on my 01' RKC the replacement cable has a spring on the idle cable, my take off did not. What am I to do with this spring???

Thanks,
Ben

 

The spring goes in the sleeve where it connects to the induction module/carb. You sure your take-off didn't have a spring? See where circled in red.

 

dang DAWG that was a quick response....

 

I Looked twice and I can't find the spring on the take off cable. I see in the service man. that the spring in used if there is a carb, but find nothing for spring on the FI models. Am I just overlooking something?

Thanks for the response

 

My EFI 04 had that spring in the sleeve for tension. Did you always have that bike or buy it used? Did you check to see if it is still in the sleeve somehow?

 

I got it used, but it has the MM throttle body not the delphi. I can't for the life of me find a spot for it. I've tried putting it in every place I can think with no luck.

Thanks again
Ben

 

I believe that it would be different then. My 04 EFI used it, but yours probably doesn't. I know the carbies use it. Read THIS instruction sheet and pay attention to Fig 4 and 5 and read the bottom beginning at page 5.

 

On the MMEFI...it does use the spring......but your bike an 04 i dont think it is the MMEFI....probably the delphi......Take a couple of pics of the side of the efi unit and then we can help better.

Dang after reading DAWGs link i might have to pull mine just to look but i would have sworn that the MMEFI used the spring.
